Art Jameel is excited to announce Huda Tayob and Miriam Hillawi Abraham as the recipients of the second edition of the Red Sea Curatorial Open call at Hayy Jameel, with their proposal titled ‘Red Wind, Coral Worlds’.
From February-April 2025 curators from around the globe submitted exhibition proposals to be developed for Hayy Arts’ first floor gallery at Hayy Jameel in Jeddah. Art Jameel particularly sought after exhibition proposals that engaged with themes pertaining to the Red Sea – including but not limited to its connected geographies, histories, ecologies, or the movement of people and ideas.
Art Jameel invites upcoming and established artists from or resident in the Kingdom to submit proposals that re-imagine Hayy Jameel’s facade as the first point in a conversation between the complex, the community it serves, and the broader public. Located on the front of the Hayy Jameel building, the Facade Commission has a prominent presence, visible to visitors as they enter as well as capturing the attention of pedestrians and drivers passing by.
This thematic programme invites children (ages 6-15) to “think like artists” by exploring what shapes an artist’s voice, from personal stories and surroundings to imagination and experimentation. Inspired by the different movements in the Khaleej art throughout the 20th century, the programme reflects on what influenced artists’ style and ideas over time.
Join us for a series of interactive workshops led by the Saudi Music Hub in Jeddah (under the Saudi Ministry of Culture’s Music Commission) at Hayy Jameel. The various workshops are aimed to support music education, exchange and collaboration between artists, educators and the wider community. Led by local and regional musicians, each workshop invites audiences of all ages and levels to explore instruments, rhythm, performance techniques and more.
